Out of all of the roads we biked on in the UP, this road with a narrow shoulder and heavy traffic was the worst. We had lots of honks and drivers not moving over a little for us. I was sure glad when we got to a wider shoulder!

to one's soul"! I heard this from the old folks.
What a beautiful Falls! The water delivers a "V-SHAPE" per camera's
take. Good photographer!
Hope no wild animals will eat the turtle's eggs. Mother turtle choose
a cool place for the coming babies!
It's amazing how mother nature "arranged" those trees to grow!
Jeanna, you look so happy in this picture under this beautiful teepee shaped trees. It will remain in your memory.
Too funny! Twins!
2 years ago"So, in explosives work, are there times when losing count demands that one go back and start over?"
Depends on the situation... Generally it would be very likely necessary. Keeping track of how many rounds were packed, how many grams or pounds or tons of whatever chemical needed in a reaction, how many rounds have been expended in a test, how many of whatever have been set up for disposal, inventory... (I did a lot of ammo inventory while I was an intern, and occasionally did re-count.) So, yeah sometimes or often or usually if explosives and counting are both involved and there is doubt, always go back and start over!
I also did plant counts in the desert for an Ecologist (Dr. Eric Pianka), and was questioned on my counts a few times, but I always had that correct and was able to point out every plant that I counted when questioned.
Bill, you are such a fount of knowledge! Thanks for sharing your nuggets of wisdom with us :-) So, in explosives work, are there times when losing count demands that one go back and start over?
2 years agoAs a retired Civil Service explosives guy, I found it interesting during my training back in the early 70s that "close enough for government work" originated when, during WWII, there was very tight control of government contract specifications, and the thought was if it was close enough for government work, it was near perfect... By the early 70s, things had gotten sloppy and the phrase gained the opposite meaning.
Trivia of the day.
We enjoyed meeting you as well. Keep in touch. We were serious about your visiting us in Florida.
2 years agoI had the same thought, but I figured it was close enough for government work.

Looks like some kind of speedwell. One website lists 10 different species for that area.
